Judge Says Pollack to Remain Mediator in Argentina Bond Case

A U.S. judge has declined Argentina's request to remove the court-appointed mediator overseeing talks with the country's holdout creditors.

A lawyer representing Argentina asked Judge Thomas Griesa at a hearing on Friday to remove Daniel Pollack, the mediator appointed to oversee talks with a slate of hedge funds suing Argentina for full repayment on debt it defaulted on in 2001.
